eventually the dream fades

Anther downtown shop window – this one is filled up with two giant dresses, hand lettered signs, and reflections. But the best part is the way the sign and dress on the left are fading into the reflected background, like so many dreams involving giant dresses tend to do.

(And, also, like so many dreams in general did for this entire damn year. It’s another metaphor!)

down a few digits

I enjoy wandering downtown streets and looking into shop windows along the way. This shop was a good find, as it had a levitating child, a gratuitous use of an “old west” font, and a baby with false eyelashes and not enough fingers. It was definitely worth the small amount of time I invested in a stroll along the town’s main street. (Although it was actually not called Main Street.)

Memorial Day

It was so cold that it was hard to imagine that Memorial Day, all the way at the end of May, was even a thing that would ever happen.

the long slide down

I like to photograph empty playgrounds. On a day that’s really cold and windy, and in a town where the population is 65, the odds of finding a vacant playground were pretty good.

of course this happened

My friend Brett says to look for metaphors in our images. My friend Don says to photograph what we feel. So, here’s this shot.
